Turner’s Tuzki enters China’s movie spaceFeature film under way with Tencent Pictures
Turner Asia Pacific has entered mainland China’s movie rush with a feature film based on the 10-year-old Tuzki emoticon.
The decision to acquire 100% rights to Tuzki and push forward with feature film production catapults Turner into a new original content and licensing space in Asia.

“THE DEADLY SIDE OF FAME.”
Asia heads into the last quarter of the year with more formats on air or com-missioned in 2016 than ever before.
But the mix is changing, with fewer mega-format regional productions, a higher focus on country-specific pro-ductions and straight licensing, and higher activity/bigger budgets in Chi-na, Japan and Korea.
There’s also more concentrated ef-fort going into co-development, which is our top trend going into 2017.
This is led by the six-month-old ven-ture between Korea’s CJ E&M and Endemol Shine Group, which premiere their first co-developed format, The So-ciety Game, on tvN in Korea in Octo-ber. The new social experiment show explores communities and political systems.
40% increase in Asia formats in 2016But the mix has changed – ContentAsia Formats Outlook
ContentAsia’s ongoing formats up-date for this year so far shows 258 for-mats on air or commissioned from Jan-uary to mid-August 2016.
We’ve been better at counting this year than last, but it looks like an aver-age increase of more than 40% in deals signed this year over the previous year, according to data provided by formats owners and rights holders.
As of 5 September this year, Endemol Shine Group continues to top Asia’s for-mats charts, with 57 titles/series – 22% – of the total 258 shows on air or commis-sioned this year so far.
FremantleMedia Asia is a close sec-ond, with 53 shows (21%), giving the two global giants a combined 110 se-ries in Asia, or 43% of the region’s for-

From page 2: Formatsmats market in 2016 so far.
Armoza (14), Talpa (13), Keshet (11) and all3media (13) have a total of 40 titles, or 15% of the market.
Vietnam is the biggest country by vol-ume, with 52 series this year, followed by China, with 44.
China, however, is by far the biggest market by volume, with budgets above US$10 million and rising not uncommon.
Top adaptations in China include Sony Pictures Television’s adaptation of Mad About You and Discovery’s co-pro with Bear Grylls, which has started production on season two.
Thailand has 36 formats on air or com-missioned, making it the third largest mar-ket by number of titles.
Cambodia has 22 series, including two seasons of MasterChef Cambodia as well as Who Wants to be a Millionaire Cambo-dia.
India has 22, including Sony Pictures Television’s sitcom, Everybody Loves Ray-mond India, and four seasons of Big Broth-er in various languages for different parts of India.
The Philippines has 20 series, including two seasons of all3media format Cash Cab Philippines by activeTV for Sony Pic-tures Television Networks Asia’s AXN Philip-pines feed.
Indonesia, which has consistently been a vibrant formats market, has 19 shows on air or commissioned for this year, includ-ing local versions of Talpa’s The Voice and The Voice Kids.

Turner extends Indonesian footprintTrans premieres 1pm weekend block
The Powerpuff Girls
Thailand slashes digital license feesRelief as progressive rates replace fixed fee
Thai regulators have greenlit a plan that will replace fixed fee digital terrestrial licenses with a progressive regime that means struggling operators will pay a lot less.
The draft approved by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications
Commission (NBTC) ditches the fixed annual fee of 2% of revenues. The new scale starts at 0.5% on revenue of up to THB5 million/US$144,000, rising in stages to 2% of revenue over THB1 billion/US$29 million.
Indonesian mass-market broadcast channel Trans TV has finally pressed start on a branded Cartoon Network block, giving Turner national access to more than 200 million free-TV viewers.
The block, dubbed in Bahasa Indonesia, premiered on the national channel on Sat-urday (17 September) and will run Satur-days and Sundays from 1pm to 2pm.
Programmes listed so far include Ben 10, The Amazing World of Gumball and We Bear Bears. The new Powerpuff Girls will also be aired on the block.
Turner is by no means an Indonesian
newbie. In April this year, the company extend-
ed its existing pay-TV channel carriage, adding WarnerTV and Oh!K to its pack on subscription platform Transvision. The deal meant Transvision carries six Turner channels.
The new free-TV deal comes against spluttering subscription television growth in Indonesia. Most of the 4% growth a year over the next five years to 36 million subscribers by 2021 will come from the Philippines and Vietnam, according to Media Partners Asia (MPA).
PCCW Media on the MOOV in Vietnam Music platform paves the

tackling operational issues involved in moving to an all-IP on-demand envi-ronment; big data and creating new revenue streams; the pros and cons of a device-agnostic approach and next-generation set top-boxes; and invest-ments and partenerships to scale up the product curve.
The opening keynote is by Wasu Group chairman, Wang Jianer, who will talk about Wasu’s path to innovation across new and future products, technologies and networks.

Open season for on-demand TV in Singapore Two new platforms scheduled to launch in the next six monthsOn-demand television picks up pace significantly in Singapore in the next six months, with the launch of two new plat-forms and increased efforts by existing operations to market their services.
The two new players are Singa-pore-based Anytime TV, which is scheduled to launch its first serv-ice on its home turf by year end, and Australian IPTV content ag-gregator and operator ReelTime Media Ltd. ReelTime has just been granted a five-year licence by Singapore’s Media Development Authority (MDA) and expects to launch within six months.
A third on-demand platform – Singapore-based Real.com – is also expected to begin making more noise about its PC-based regional platform. A fourth player, M2BWorld, claims 2,000 subscribers in the first month after
its launch this year. Anytime’s ambitions were
fast-tracked in August, with the announcement that Intel Capital – the Intel Corporation’s venture capital arm – had acquired an undisclosed equity stake in the company. Anytime president and chief executive, Craig Zimbulis, said Intel’s involvement would allow Anytime to launch its direct-to-consumer on-de-mand portal within the next six to 12 months. The new service, fea-turing movies, television, games and music, will be available on a variety of devices, Anytime says,

Taiwan’s National Communications Com-mission (NCC) received 410 complaints about the country’s television programmes – 93% of all complaints made about media outlets – between April and June this year.
The NCC’s latest report says 390 (88.4%) of the total 441 complaints against TV and radio programmes were about inappro-priate content, including comments by hosts or guests, financial programmes that influenced the market, and programmes about supernatural or miraculous events.
32 (7.3%) of the total complaints were about business operations.
Just under 15% of complaints about content were about the unclear distinc-tion between advertising and program-ming. 4.1% of the complaints were about harmful content for young audiences, while 1.1% of the complaints were about sexism. The lowest number of complaints was for inappropriate programme ratings and illegal use of on-screen news flashes, both of which came in at 0.2%.
